Got played this time?

Seeing the hourly chart pump so hard, and even moving up together with the US stock market, I ended up exiting early. Can’t really say I was tricked out, it’s mainly because my last two trades lost pretty badly, and my mindset is already blown.

Now I’m totally in a “jumpy as a startled bird” state—any little movement makes me want to cut losses and bail. If this was before, I definitely would’ve held on no matter what, maybe even added to my position as it dropped. But after getting burned a few times in a row, I’m honestly too scared to hold onto anything.

The more I lose, the less confident I get—it’s a vicious cycle. Does anyone have any tips for regaining confidence in trading? At this rate, even seeing ETH gives me anxiety…

If your mindset has collapsed, don’t force yourself to push through. Honestly, sometimes taking it easy is also a win.

Bro, this mentality issue is even more fatal than losing money. The vicious cycle of panic leading to even more panic selling is really something else.

Bro, this is just a sign of a mental breakdown. There's nothing wrong with cutting your losses and getting out—the key is not to let fear hijack your judgment.

Bro, you really need to help yourself with this mindset issue. Taking profits and cutting losses is already tough, but if you keep running like this, you'll really burn out. After a few consecutive losses, you start questioning your whole life. I've been there too. Honestly, you need to lower your leverage and find your rhythm again. Instead of obsessing over whether you got played this time, it's better to think about how to survive longer next time.

Bro, that's a complete mental breakdown, you need to calm down for a few days first. --- Losing twice in a row shatters your mindset, and this is when blind trading makes it easiest to become exit liquidity. --- I suggest you step away and take a break, don't get more anxious as your losses grow. --- The first two trades have turned you into a nervous wreck. Continuing to trade in this state is just giving money away. --- You have to admit your current state isn't good; maintaining your mindset is more important than setting a stop-loss price. --- If just seeing ETH gives you a heart attack, you really need to adjust, or you'll keep getting rekt. --- Trying to bounce back quickly after consecutive liquidations is the easiest way to get trapped again. --- Once your mindset blows up, no amount of technical analysis will help. --- Honestly, lying low for a few weeks is much better than continuing to struggle.
